An enhanced pedestrian connection at Ponce has been part of the Eastside Trail’s design since it debuted in 2012 Previous plans to begin work in summer 2021 were delayed by a Georgia Department of Transportation review process. the Ponce de Leon Avenue Streetscapes project next door—the conversion of a section of the busy street into a safer more approachable thoroughfare for pedestrians and bicyclists—has wrapped major construction. The Beltline reports that bike lane resurfacing and extensions and landscaping for the streetscapes overhaul have all now been completed. That project started construction in fall 2022 and covers just shy of .7 miles between Boulevard and John Lewis Freedom Parkway Popular destinations in between include Ponce City Market Ponce bike lanes were extended on both sides of the Beltline up to the entrance of the Kroger in Poncey-Highland But tight right-of-way constraints and existing traffic-lane configurations on that section of Ponce prohibited the in-street bike lanes from being fully extended to Freedom Parkway Trees and new lighting stand in buffers between sidewalks and the bike lanes traffic signals were reconfigured at Boulevard and the entrance to Kroger and the 725 Ponce development Twitter / Facebook/and now: Instagram • Midtown news, discussion (Urbanize Atlanta) Restaurant Brings Approximately 80 Full- and Part-Time Jobs to Community, Honors 100 Local Heroes with Free Chick-fil-A Entrées for a Year The Chick-fil-A PlayTM App is your home for free games and activities designed to create more time with your favorite people Stay in the game all season long with the best of our new App features Game Recap: Baseball | 4/4/2025 8:17:00 PM Thanks for visiting Lynette Ortiz grasping at straws?

Building on the ashes of Dugan's, however, didn’t come without speed bumps Poncey-Highland leaders several years ago created the Poncey-Highland Historic District as means of safeguarding about 260 irreplaceable buildings and establishing guidelines for new development that inevitably would come to the upscale neighborhood Chick-fil-A’s initial plans for the Dugan’s site ran afoul of the new rules in several ways sending the company back to the drawing board to tweak designs Chick-fil-A’s plans as of August last year called for opening the restaurant sometime this fall find a closer look at how the chicken empire’s latest Ponce plans are coming together—no drive-thru included Twitter / Facebook/and now: Instagram • Poncey-Highland news, discussion (Urbanize Atlanta) Juli Horsford , Nina Reeder & Jacinta Howard Georgia 30308">.css-56eu0z{width:1em;height:1em;display:inline-block;line-height:1em;-webkit-flex-shrink:0;-ms-flex-negative:0;flex-shrink:0;color:var(--chakra-colors-gray100);vertical-align:middle;fill:currentColor;}675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE The H&F burger has been a solid Ever since this fast-casual outpost of the original full-service restaurant opened in Ponce we’ve headed straight here whenever we get a sudden craving for the beloved double stack (two juicy beef patties And the hand-cut fries are some of the best in town—well-seasoned You can take a seat inside at one of the long wooden counters or join the other folks walking around clutching milkshakes and grease-stained paper bags from here 8.0Botiwalla 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE Atlanta Indian Old Fourth Ward 8.0Atrium American the Atrium has respectable sweet lime jalapeño wings that are nicely charred instead of fried 7.9W.

Ponce will be the team's tight ends coach and associate head coach heading into the 2025 season This past month has been a crazy one for Ponce who took the time for an interview with G5 Football Daily Ponce's future at Appalachian State became uncertain with the firing of Shawn Clark He subsequently interviewed for the FIU head coaching job but will ultimately return to his alma mater for his second stint as an assistant with the Panthers "Definitely unfortunate what happened at App State," Ponce said "Something that we didn't see coming we had a lot of success with coach Clark who has done a great job there with a record of 40-24 You never know what can happen from one day to another You don't ever want it to happen to anybody." Ponce was one of many candidates interviewed for the FIU head coaching position this winter which was vacant for the first time since prior to the 2022 season Ponce interviewed for the job in that window as well but it wound up going to Memphis defensive coordinator Mike MacIntyre MacIntyre was fired following a 12-24 stint with the Panthers "I interviewed for the FIU job and that was definitely a privilege for me to be even considered for the head coaching job," said Ponce." Had a very good interview process has tons of success as a head coach and definitely grateful to him for giving me the opportunity to come back to my alma mater and be the tight ends coach and part of the program I feel great about the situation...I think coach Simmons' vision is exactly what FIU needs and I see a lot of success in the future for FIU football I'm excited just to be part of it and I can't wait to get started." When Mario Cristobal took the FIU head coaching job in 2007 Ponce was on his staff as the school's wide receivers coach until 2012 That staff inherited one of the worst teams in the country from the prior season and turned it into one that won the Sun Belt and reached two bowl games "Coach Cristobal got everybody believing in the dream and the process," Ponce said "We were able to win a championship in just four years and that's a lot of credit to coach Cristobal and the position he had at the time and the staff that he put together these guys are still coaching and having a lot of success around the country Broward County and Palm Beach County." Ponce will go into an FIU program that is coming off their third straight 4-8 season and will have some questions when it comes to an offense that lost four of five starting offensive lineman and both top receivers who Ponce and the rest of coaching staff are excited to have back "Number one is the quarterback," said Ponce "Jenkins has been outstanding watching him the last couple of years and just seeing what he does...When you have a trigger man you gotta have a guy that can throw the ball and run as well One thing that Willie Simmons made clear and that Ponce reiterated is that they will recruit South Florida for the best talent possible We were able to get a lot of great players from South Florida Four of them are in the NFL or participate on NFL teams You can't go into a school and not trip over great talent especially down here in South Florida at the skill positions incredible kids that are just bred to work hard There's a reason why the entire country comes down here to recruit and try to take the best players out of here." Ponce's tight end room is a bit bare despite the recent addition of UAB transfer Dallas Payne Chad Staley and in Febuary Jackson Verdugo is set to sign as the only incoming freshman to that tight end room Building up that group will be one of Ponce's first major tasks in his seventh overall season as an FIU assistant New Central Michigan Football Coach Matt Drinkall Set to Lead the Chippewas His Way Boise State Football Falls To Penn State 31-14 in VRBO Fiesta Bowl Buffalo Blows Out Depleted Liberty 26-7 in Bahamas Bowl Win KEVIN BARRAL The content on this site is for entertainment and educational purposes only Betting and gambling content is intended for individuals 21+ and is based on individual commentators' opinions and not that of Sports Illustrated or its affiliates All picks and predictions are suggestions only and not a guarantee of success or profit If you or someone you know has a gambling problem crisis counseling and referral services can be accessed by calling 1-800-GAMBLER There were some huge TSSAA baseball performances across the Nashville area last week Vote for the Ponce Law Nashville area boys athlete of the week today Blackman: Leban was 3-for-5 with a double and five RBIs in a 17-7 win over Coffee County Coffee County: Pippenger was 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBIs in an 11-5 loss to Lincoln County More: Why CPA, Eagleville are No. 1 in Nashville area Large, Small Class TSSAA baseball rankings More: Multi-HR TSSAA softball games up for Ponce Law Nashville area girls athlete of the week CPA: Beddingfield was 3-for-3 with a triple and an RBI in a 7-2 win over Upperman Davidson Academy: Burgett was 3-for-5 with a double and two RBIs in an 18-12 win over Father Ryan Dickson County: Brown was 3-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI and pitched 6.1 innings allowing five hits and striking out nine in a win over Cookeville Ensworth: Hullett was 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBIs in a 14-13 win over MBA Father Ryan: Mullen was 2-for-3 with a home run a double and three RBIs in an 18-12 loss to Davidson Academy Friendship Christian: Kring was 3-for-5 with a home run two doubles and five RBIs in a 13-4 win over Nashville Christian Goodpasture: Vierkant pitched seven innings allowing eight hits and striking out 12 in a 4-3 win over White House-Heritage Hillsboro: Conner pitched seven innings allowing seven hits and striking out 12 in a 10-1 win over Overton Independence: King was 2-for-3 with a home run three stolen bases and two additional runs in an 11-8 win over Centennial Lawson: Sheaffer was 2-for-3 with a double and two RBIs while on the mound he had 11 strikeouts in five innings allowing seven hits and three earned runs in a 20-5 win over Hume-Fogg Lipscomb Academy: Hilliard had eight strikeouts in five innings allowing two hits and no runs in a 7-0 win over JPII MBA: Riojas was 3-for-5 with a home run and two additional runs in the loss to Ensworth Ravenwood: Paciorek was 3-for-4 with two home runs and five RBIs Station Camp: Parsons pitched a complete game with 16 strikeouts while allowing two hits and no runs At the plate he went 1-for-2 with a double a run and a stolen base in a 4-3 win over Franklin On the mound he had five strikeouts in 5.2 innings Tullahoma: Zebick went 2-for-2 with a triple and five RBIs in a 15-0 win over Central Magnet Tyler Palmateer covers high school sports for The Tennessean.

An unexpected boon for all Krog Street vendors came last fall, when the Michelin Guide awarded Fred’s a Bib Gourmand certification has been pretty amazing and brought a lot more traffic,” says Fred’s co-owner and chef Todd Ginsberg “The guests and patronage of Krog started off strong and it’s as strong if not stronger to this day.” According to Asana Partners, the Charlotte-based developer that bought Krog Street Market from Paces in 2018, the numbers support Ginsberg’s statement. Asana added neighboring properties to the fully leased food hall. Sites such as SPX Alley and Stove Works along with recently constructed office and retail buildings form the now denser and more cohesive Krog District says foot traffic across the district increased 28 percent between 2018 and 2023 and he estimates his original fast-casual business tallies 300 orders per day on average “We have the traffic of being at the airport,” Santiago says Ponce City has undergone a titanic postpandemic growth spurt With the addition of two new residential high-rises that lord over the 1920s-era former Sears the 16-acre block now counts more than 800 apartments and lofts and almost 50 retail tenants spread across an immense 3 million square feet Ponce City is metro Atlanta’s second most popular destination a place where many people are kind of writing the stories of their lives at one step or another,” says Phillips or visitors from out of town—it’s astounding.” This article appears in our November 2024 issue 2024) – Houston Dynamo FC signed forward

the Museo Castillo Serrallés in Ponce will be rebuilt following its closure in 1975 Investor Abel Misla Villalba confirmed the project after securing the necessary financing for its restoration The Ponce businessman officially signed off on the ambitious restoration which is made possible by funding from Oriental Bank and CDBG funds which gained popularity in the southern region between 1960 and 1975 will undergo a multimillion-dollar investment totaling $40 million The reopening is scheduled for December 2026 when the new hotel will welcome guests under the distinguished international brand Marriott Tribute Portfolio The ambitious restoration—made possible through funding from Oriental Bank and a key allocation of CDBG funds—includes a multimillion-dollar investment and a 19-month reconstruction period The grand reopening is scheduled for December 2026 marking the hotel's return under the Marriott Tribute Portfolio brand The hotel was originally built in 1960 by architect William B legendary artists such as Celia Cruz and El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico graced its stages with performances “We have spent a long time working to restore the Intercontinental Hotel and artistic epicenter of Ponce from 1960 to 1975 It symbolized the city's economic and cultural growth at that time was an icon of a glorious era for the city We want to bring back that epic moment when Ponce was thriving and when both local and international visitors were a daily norm That is our aspiration,” Misla stated in an interview with The News Journal The investor expressed his desire to turn Ponce into a top-tier tourist destination with the reopening of the hotel emphasizing that “it can be seen from every part of the city and it is the highest-elevation hotel in Puerto Rico.” He also acknowledged that they are now ready to move forward with the reconstruction process after a long wait for the necessary funding “We are ready after a long process because we won a federal proposal under the CDBG-DR program (funds from the Department of Housing) along with financing from Oriental Bank,” Misla explained The nearly $40 million investment is expected to create more than 200 permanent jobs “I am committed to the development of the city and this project adds value by bringing in internationally recognized companies The presence of international brands in the region adds legitimacy I believe we will see a continued rise in the number of new hotels allowing us to create the necessary volume to position Ponce as a premier Caribbean tourist destination,” Misla

Trainees,” which she presented at the 2024 Sexual Medicine Society of North America Fall Scientific Meeting Ponce is an MD/MPH candidate at Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California Pelvic and vulvovaginal pain includes diagnoses like interstitial cystitis and it's very prevalent in the general population so we wanted to look at the specific experiences of medical trainees with these conditions So we did a survey that was adapted from the Vulvar Pain Questionnaire and Sexual Distress Scale We disseminated it this year in 4 major regions of the US and 48% of those did say that they had functionally limiting pelvic pain or bladder for 14 days out of a given month at least it appeared that the Vulvar Pain Questionnaire scores and the Perceived Stress scores did increase by year in medical school These symptoms are also interfering with their medical duties in particular in the realms of focus and productivity Every respondent did say that it was important that their medical institution require education around these conditions All but one said that their education was inadequate in this area because most said that there was no change in their ability to manage or understand their condition following their medical education thus far one-third of those with pain have not pursued a diagnosis or have not discussed their symptoms with a provider as of yet We did a qualitative survey for this section and reasons for this included inadequate education around potential etiologies feelings of hopelessness around available medical treatments this highlights the prevalence and barriers to care for this patient population and the need for more supportive environments and advocacy for treatment in the future physician work force

The voice of the late Vin Scully, who spent 67 years doing play-by-play for the Dodgers, was a big part of Ponce’s childhood. So were the team’s Spanish-language announcers. “That was just our family radio,” Diego says. As he followed his favorite player Clayton Kershaw’s exploits on the mound, Diego also started learning about some of the Dodgers’ greats – players who made an impact on the storied franchise and the city of Los Angeles many years before the 16-year-old was born. “I learned about Sandy Koufax, Jackie Robinson, Fernando Valenzuela, all these old school players that kind of gave the Dodgers the culture, the meaning of what they are today,” Diego says. “And it's just that historical side of it that for me, that's why now I'm a Dodgers fan.” Oddly enough, Diego’s affinity for baseball helped put things in perspective last year when he got a once-in-a-lifetime chance to go behind the scenes at The Genesis Invitational on the PGA TOUR. Diego, who attends the TGR Learning Lab in Anaheim, California, and aspires to be a sports journalist, shadowed Kira K. Dixon of the Golf Channel as she reported from The Riviera Country Club. Among the treats? Diego met Tony Finau and Rory McIlroy – although he’d be the first to tell you he hadn’t followed much golf up to that point. So, he wasn’t exactly as prepared as he would have liked to have been. Diego Ponce, a TGR Learning Lab student, had the chance to go behind the scenes at The Genesis Invitational, shadowing Kira K. Dixon of the Golf Channel as she reported from The Riviera Country Club. (Credit TGR Foundation) “When I met them, I was shocked in a good way. I was excited,” he says. “But when I met them, I'm not going to lie, I really didn't have any idea who they were. And then after I met them, they're like, do you know who you just met? I said, 'Yeah, Rory McIlroy. He just told me his name.' “And they're like, no, you just met the Aaron Judge of golf. You just met the Mookie Betts of golf in Tony. So, it was just those things. I told them, you kind of have to put things in a baseball perspective. So, then I went out to the driving range and I saw some of the guys golfing, and somebody in the media told me, it's just watching batting practice.” Diego says Dixon told him about covering charity pro-ams where some of his favorite MLB and NBA players test their skills on the golf course. Players like Manny Machado of the San Diego Padres and Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors are avid golfers during their downtime. “So, it was just interesting kind of seeing different perspectives,” Diego says. “I got the experience from the golf world, but everything is pretty much applicable to any other sport.” Diego has been to The Genesis Invitational before courtesy of the TGR Foundation, which was founded by Tiger Woods and his father Earl to create learning opportunities in underserved areas. The TGR Foundation is the beneficiary of this week’s PGA TOUR event, which has been moved to Torrey Pines in San Diego out of respect to the people affected by the recent wildfires. The behind-the-scenes media tour at Riviera was different than Diego’s other visit because the work he’s done at the TGR Learning Lab has made his career path so clear. He was clearly in his element as he sat in on press conferences, interviewed Chase Johnson and learned from Dixon. “It was amazing because not only did I get to shadow her and meet some of the players and all that, but it was personalized,” Diego says. “I could have met Kira, but with a bunch of other students, and it would've been a five-minute talk, but I got to spend the whole day with her walking around the course. “She was telling me what she did, how she went about it, what it looks like, what it sounds like, because she has to be listening to her producers and everything. I just took advantage of everything. And in the moment, I didn't really know what was going on just because I was so excited. But on the bus ride back, it really sunk in and I was just like, wow, I just did that. I just met all these people … “I just got all this information from a professional, and it was just, honestly, thinking back on it, I still can't believe it.” Diego, who is homeschooled, has been going to the TGR Learning Lab for the last three years where he’s taken classes in photography, digital arts and multimedia studies. A six-week class in podcasting opened his eyes to different forms of broadcasting that he could combine with his love of sports. “I knew that was the perfect kind of job for me,” Diego says. Through the TGR Learning Lab, Diego Ponce met a stadium host for the Dodgers there who connected him with the team’s Spanish-language broadcasters. (Credit TGR Foundation) Diego created three podcasts during the class, recording for 90 minutes on Mondays, editing on Wednesdays and eventually sharing them with friends and family members. He’s working on more and has plans to interview Mickey Hatcher, who played on two World Series championship teams, including the 1988 Dodgers. Diego is a highly motivated student, already taking history and media studies classes at nearby Cerritos College. He also hopes to earn the California State Seal of Biliteracy which is given to high school graduates who are able to read, write and speak a language other than English. The instructors and support staff at the TGR Learning Lab have been invaluable to Diego. In addition to the classes he’s taken, he gets help with applications for college and potential scholarships. Diego’s younger brother Sebastian, who’s 11, is taking advantage of what the TGR Learning Lab offers, as well. “They really helped me find my passion and what I want to do in the future,” Diego says. “But it feels nice going there because I know a lot of the teachers. It's a very friendly environment. I'm friends with a lot of the students. So, I go in and I kind of have this team behind me, and not only do they want me to succeed, but they're helping me to succeed as well.” The TGR Learning Lab also invited Diego to a panel discussion on public relations which led to another exciting opportunity. He met a stadium host for the Dodgers there who connected him with the team’s Spanish-language broadcasters. One of the announcers later invited Diego and his family to a game where they spent several innings in the booth. “For me, it was amazing being there with the headphones, talking to the guys, seeing the game from the press box,” he says. “But it was more special for me too, when I turned around and I saw my family. They were just beaming with their headphones on. And it feels so nice because my family does so much for me, and I'm at the age where I can't do a whole lot for them but that moment, (I was) thinking, I made that connection.
